Though I have to admit I have been very, very surprised to see KotMC still accepting Sansha supporters ICly when they ban 'mere' blooders and EoMs.
While a blanket ban on Equilibrium followers Just Makes Sense™ for various reasons that would devolve into racist and stereotypical comments about religious extremists, the other half of the ban is not on Blooders, but on the entire Sani Sabik faith, which includes a large number of sects and variations on the faith that neither care for nor support the Covenant (and in some cases, want nothing to do with them at all). There are plenty of Sani Sabik out there who keep their stuff to themselves and don't talk about it because they know they aren't Blooders, and hate being labeled as them because the shoe
really doesn't fit despite what society seems to think.
So what should happen is, the Sanshas are addressed ICly and turned away at the door, or allowed in on conditions of nonviolence.
Judging by one of Aldrith's posts on IGS, this is exactly what happened - Jia contacted him, asked if it was okay to come, and he said that it was fine as long as they behaved. Which they did. Far better than Seriphyn did, I might add.
That's exactly what Seriphyn pursued by turning up at the event and mouthing off. Social exclusion not by banhamm0rz, but by actively RPing and being like "Kick these fuckers out, yo"
No, this is not what Seriphyn did, this is what
you did. You the player, not Seriphyn the character. You went into the channel with the express purpose of giving yourself an excuse to start a thread on IGS:
[ 2011.03.21 03:46:59 ] Seriphyn Inhonores > oh hell with it, I might have Seri go in there
[ 2011.03.21 03:47:23 ] Seriphyn Inhonores > just to pedantic about the band, then notice the TS-F members, and accuse KOTMC on IGS
[ 2011.03.21 03:47:54 ] Seriphyn Inhonores > /emote walks in, complains about band, complains about guests, leaves
[ 2011.03.21 03:48:49 ] Seriphyn Inhonores > but I also wanted to put Seri in some 18th century European coatee and tricorne.
In fact, this didn't even occur until after people had told you that Jia, Screwball and Kyber were there, and you'd been making comments about "omg they're being Gallente" for a while regarding music and dance styles. You lurked in the IC channel while being pedantic in an OOC channel about what was going on. It's childish.
My issue with the situation is not that it happened, but the
way it happened. It'd have been one thing if Seri had just shown up in the Keep, and stuff had just progressed from there, but instead, you waffled about in another channel complaining about how terrible it was that the Sansha loyalists were allowed inside, and how
Gallente the party was, and then announced your OOC intent to show up just to be able to make an IGS post about it. After, apparently, having been told (supposedly IC, judging by Shalee's posts on IGS) that Seri couldn't come to the party.
Do I think that it's a bit silly for Sansha loyalists to be given as much of a free lunch as they have been? Sure. But I find your method here, however, to be even sillier, just as I see it as silly when other people do the same thing (several incidents in the Last Gate come to mind). Instead of bitching, moaning, telling us what you're going to do and then doing it, why don't you just skip the first three steps and do it without saying anything, and only discuss it OOC if someone else brings it up there?
As an aside: In character, Morwen has her issues with Nation loyalists just like everyone else - some very personal issues among them. She just has the self-control to be able to reserve the exchange of anything more than verbal fire for in space, as she does for most groups, save a few specific individuals.
[mod]Please avoid making judgements as to whether people have OOC motives for IC actions. It's a mess place to go.[/mod]
